Living With a Terrible GriefAn East Bay mother, whose son was never found after his suicide at the Golden Gate Bridge, counsels compassion for the family of Danville teen Alliy Bayliss.

For the family of Allison Bayliss, it is possible that their grief will
be complicated by the fact she has not been found.
Sadly, that is a reality that many families of Golden Gate Bridge
suicide victims endure for days, months and years. Compounding the
tragedy of losing a loved one to a suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge
is the fact that the bodies of many who jump are
never recovered, according to a Hercules mother whose 20-year-old son probably jumped from the bridge on the morning of Nov. 15, 2007. Matthew Whitmer is still officially "missing," as are others whose bodies have not been found.
"If no one saw them jump, there is going to be an even bigger hope that they walked off the other end of the bridge," said Dayna Whitmer, whose son would have turned 24 Saturday. Nearly four years later, he is not officially dead
but is listed as a "missing person." "You can't let go of the hope. It's almost impossible to let go of the hope." Bayliss, a 15-year-old student, was seen walking onto the bridge at about 10 a.m. Monday but wasn't seen leaving
it, Her locked bicycle, with her helmet beside it, was found in the parking lot of Fort Point, right below the bridge. The CHP and Danville Police say their investigation found she ended her life by jumping from the bridge — something
that even many people who didn't know her find hard to believe, based on comments they're posting on Patch. Even Saturday morning, after the family announced a Monday public celebration of Bayliss' life, one Danville resident posted:
"I still continue to have hope. How do you know she didn't get in a car and that's why you didn't see her come off the bridge? I'm still hoping and praying for a miracle." Patch has repeatedly questioned authorities about the evidence
they have of Bayliss' suicide, and they've assured us that their information is accurate. "She walked onto the bridge and didn't come back," said Danville Police Chief Steve Simpkins. In their announcement, released Friday, the
Bayliss family extended their thanks to the Danville community and invited people to attend a at 2 p.m. Monday at Danville's. "Alliy was a caring and compassionate young woman and an avid learner who was always interested in helping
others," the statement said. Whitmer has become an advocate for families and for erecting a suicide prevention barrier at the bridge. She also has created a website, goldengatebridgesuicides.com , that offers practical resources for
families who are coping with this unique tragedy. "It's so difficult when you can't get them home," said Whitmer. "It's not unlike all the MIAs in Vietnam, you never know for sure until you get them home." John Bateson, the executive
director of the Contra Costa Crisis Center and the author of a forthcoming book on suicides at the Golden Gate Bridge, said
that a number of the 1,550 confirmed suicides are not officially recorded as "suicides" because the bodies were never found. He can't say what percentage of bridge suicides are classified as missing person's cases, just as no one
can say for sure how many people have died. He and Whitmer said the currents of San Francisco Bay push the bodies in various directions, over to Marin County, down to San Mateo County or out into the Pacific Ocean. Both Bateson
and Whitmer said the bodies of people believed to have jumped from the bridge have been carried out and turned up as far as away as Santa Cruz, the Farallon Islands, even Mendocino County. Ken Holmes, the former longtime coroner
of Marin County, whose office has conducted the majority of autopsies on bridge suicide victims, told Whitmer that some bodies don't resurface. After Matthew disappeared, Holmes advised her to keep calling his office. But after
six months, she was told to expect his body probably would not be recovered after being in the water for so long. Whitmer said her son, who had been in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, had a mental illness. At the age of 12, he told
his mother he had tried to kill himself. After a hospitalization, he was given a diagnosis of schizo-affective disorder, an illness that has components of schizophrenia and a mood disorder. Matthew received treatment, stayed very
active in sports, completed high school, and traveled to the United Kingdom and Ireland as a student ambassador for People to People, a program for young adults to travel around the world. When he died, he was going to school to
become a massage therapist. In the past, he had always been very open with his family about whether he was becoming depressed or hearing voices. The family also talked openly about suicide and what he should do if he was having
those kinds of ideas. The night before his death, he had gone out with his older brother David. The two returned home at about 10 p.m. and stayed up playing video games. Matthew was last seen by his brother at home about 1:30 a.m.
Whitmer woke up at 6:25 a.m. "I just sat up right in bed, feeling that something is terribly wrong." She got up and looked for Matthew, knew he had an 8 a.m. class and tried to reach him by texting him. Through the Hercules police,
the family learned later that morning that his car had been found in the south parking lot of the Golden Gate Bridge. According to what they were told by the California Highway Patrol, joggers had reported seeing a young man wearing
a hooded sweatshirt leap over the side of bridge at about 6:25 a.m. They also saw a splash. The U.S. Coast Guard searched the waters but didn't find anyone. Matthew Whitmer had texted a friend at 6:23 a.m. the words "Peace Out."
He had also printed out directions to the Golden Gate Bridge, which were found in his car. Other information came in later: that Matthew had apparently attempted suicide three days earlier and that he had started to hear voices
again. The first days and nights, Whitmer and her husband, Mark, contacted every hospital in the Bay Area, looking for a John Doe. They also called and called the Coroner's Office in Marin County. "We just kept calling and waiting
and hoping it wasn't him [who had been seeing jumping]." Three weeks after Matthew Whitmer apparently committed suicide, family and friends held a sunset vigil at Point Isabel. Over the years, Dayna Whitmer learned more than she
ever wanted to about the Golden Bridge and its history as a No. 1 suicide site in the world. She has provided DNA to the coroner's office in case her son's body is ever found. And, every day, Whitmer has moments of thinking that
Matthew will still walk through the door. A CHP officer told Whitmer about the particularly sad case of a family whose religion required the burial of body in order for them to begin grieving. For any family with someone missing
from the bridge, that sense of "closure"— a stage important for emotional healing — becomes ever more elusive, she said. Whitmer said she and other relatives "feel it all over again" when they hear about another Golden Gate Bridge
suicide. That's how it was Tuesday, when she first saw a tweet about Bayliss going missing, then read that Bayliss had left a suicide note and her bicycle was found near the bridge. Bayliss reminded Whitmer of Matthew in that she
was reported to be smart, physically active and fun to be around. Whitmer was heartened to see that 2,000 people turned out for Bayliss' vigil Wednesday evening . "That's the kind of support you don't often get when someone commits suicide," she said. That's because suicide often is seen as a "choice," or because of the fear friends and family will be judged for not noticing that their
loved one was in such deep distress and intervening, Whitmer said. "Her family should get the utmost care and compassion, " she added. "They shouldn't be stigmatized because of it." In their statement, the Bayliss family said that
the tremendous support they have received from people around the Bay Area "has been overwhelming." The Danville Community Presbyterian Church is at 222 West El Pintado Road. The family asks that people wear blue and bring any photos
and other memorabilia of Alliy to add to their scrapbook. The family has established the "Allison Bayliss Donation Fund Account" to further her interests. Donations can be made at any Wells Fargo bank. Expressions of sympathy may

WALNUT CREEK — A transgender person who identified as a woman and was found dead along southbound Interstate 680 near the Walnut Creek BART station on Wednesday morning was identified by the Contra Costa Coroner’s Office on Thursday.
A coroner’s deputy confirmed that Natalie Nereza, 25, of Concord, likely jumped to her death from the BART tracks between the Lafayette and Pleasant Hill stations. She was found just north of the Olympic Boulevard exit near the Highway 24 junction.
Police were summoned about 12:15 a.m. on Wednesday after passing motorists saw the body.

City Manager Ken Nordoff
The City of Walnut Creek has far too many suicides, dubious jumpers, and has a history of covering up investigations.
The City Manager resigned effective Dec. 31, 2016 but my first successful use of the Brown Act occurred on Nov 2nd, 2011.
Not knowing the specifics of the Brown Act uses and timing relevant to the Agenda Items. I stood up.
Later I learned one of my oldest customers Bill Hoot was ranting at the correct time. We basically said the same thing to the Council.
We’ve been robbed, our cases are stalled and the Walnut Creek Police were corrupt.
The prior day I’d met with City Manager Ken Nordoff and then Chief Joel Bryden. There was late June conversation with Bryden about the recent Federal Indictments of officers connected to the Contra Costa Narcotics Enforcement Taskforce linked to an attack by Gary Vinson Collins who was a building inspector who nearly beat me to death in my house.
The Bennett/Bryden/Nordoff meeting was about Bennett v. Collins (2004) with then Chief Chris Wenzel.

Pete Bennett was holding a protest at the B of A tech Center in 2003, a year later just about every employee at the Town of Danville witnessed Bennett’s truck explode. I know I have witnesses and those employed in Danville could end up dead like my other witness.

Ryan Fuchs Boy, 15, arrested in slaying of Danville teen
Karen shared the loss of her child. This article helped clarify the incident. We also took our kids to Dr. Andrew Nash. Her daughter died of a bacterial infection, I almost died from several bacterial infections and the Fuchs marriage was coming undone was mine but I was also in the ER many times with heart attack symptoms but more important we know the same Alamo Mormons who wanted them but they already had mine and they've snatched my sons from me but my coworker Phil Davidson nearly died of Spinal Meningitis and we worked for Chris Ivory of Ivory Consulting in Walnut Creek.
